Holiday Orchestra Brings Community Music and Light to Lone Tree

The Lone Tree Symphony Orchestra presented Let It Glow at Lone Tree Arts Center with evening and matinee performances on December 6 at 7:30 p.m. and December 7 at 2:30 p.m. The seasonal concert program featured holiday and winter themed orchestral arrangements designed to appeal to families and community audiences, and was part of the Arts Center December performance schedule.

The performances were held at 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree, and tickets were available through the Arts Center box office and its website. Programming included music intended to create a festive atmosphere for a broad audience, and the schedule was designed to accommodate both weekday evening and weekend afternoon attendance.

Local impact extended beyond the concert hall. Live seasonal programming like Let It Glow supports community connection during a time of year when social gatherings are important for many families. For Douglas County residents, that connection can have measurable public health benefits by reducing social isolation and contributing to mental well being through shared cultural experiences. Community oriented concerts also provide accessible arts opportunities for youth and older adults who may rely on nearby programming for cultural engagement.

Economic benefits include support for the Arts Center staff and associated local businesses that serve concertgoers before and after performances. The Arts Center continues to position itself as a cultural anchor for Lone Tree, offering a range of December programming that invites residents to participate in the performing arts locally rather than travel farther afield.

Equity and access remain central considerations for community arts. Events aimed at families can expand participation, yet barriers such as ticket cost and transportation can limit who attends. Continued attention to affordable ticketing, outreach to underserved neighborhoods, and accessible scheduling will determine how broadly benefits are felt across Douglas County.

As the holiday season progresses, the Arts Center plans additional programming, and Lone Tree residents can look to local performances like Let It Glow as both cultural respite and an opportunity to strengthen community ties.
